Regulating Stress via HRV Monitoring - Adaptive Meditation App - (not sure yet whether this topic will be offered this term) |
|---|
| In our fast paced society it sometimes is hard to find a peaceful moment. Meditation and self-regulation apps can hereby help to focus on the present moment and regulate oneself by the help of technology. In this work an existing meditation app will be enhanced to incorporate HRV (heart rate variability) measurements into the meditation praxis. Before, during and after a meditation HRV data is gathered via a chestbelt to assess the user's stress level. According to the stress level (on a daily, weekly, monthly... base) the app will be adapted (suggestions, meditations, etc.) and the user will get useful feedback for self-regulation. Requirements: You have already attended the HCI lecture and had good grades. You are fit in Android programming. You don't shy away from statistics. |

Interface and Interaction Design of a Web Application for ABAC-enabled Smart-Home management (vergeben) |
|---|
In the context of the COSY IoT-Lab, a first prototype of a web application was developed, which enables users to manage Smart-Home devices securely via access policies. Interface and Interaction Design of this prototype is not yet up to the task. As a next step, it is necessary to iterate on this prototype and its ABAC policy concept, enhance its interface and interaction design and conduct a user study to validate it, For this topic, you will (1) conduct a literature and related work analysis around interfaces for related smart home systems, (2) familiarize yourself with the Smart Home solution currently under development in our research group and the existing web app prototype, (3) develop a novel concept of interface and interaction design that suits both the web interface and the requirements of usable design of security measures, (4) implement your concept as a next interation of the web app prototype and (5) validate your results with a small user study. Testing and verification will be conducted in the COSY:Lab using existing equipment and development and verification environment. |
